COULD YOU BE CONVICTED OF BEING A CHRISTIAN?
Greetings in the name of Jesus:
As I continue on with the thoughts of mentoring I want to ask you a question...could you be convicted of being a Christian today? Using all of the tricks and the talents of the best layers you could get ho good are the chances that if you were brought up on those charges you would get off?
The truth is that in most cases I think that we might be able to weasel out of a conviction as a child of God given the hands on evidence of our lives, and that is a very sad thing in today society. It is more than likely also the reason that evil has been able to dump on us so much...we do not stand for anything really; and as the song tells us when that happens "we will fall for anything". It is becoming more difficult each day for me to find new people who are on fire for God in a way that my spirit tells me is sure and true. We all are in a situation where we may well be unsure of our faith in the light of the tremendous amount of evil we are seeing unleashed. The real truth is that these things must happen ...they must take place within God's time table of events before He returns. We already know this is true from Christ's own words in Matthew 24.
So many today are holding on to a hope that we will be rescued from any kind of pain or problems associated with the evil that is to be unleashed, but I know as do you that we are all to be held at some point accountable for our belief in Christ. We know without any doubt if this world has hated Christ so much as to crucify Him then we are certainly in line for that or worse as these days continue on. Don't you think it is time to settle the issue of where your loyalties are with God right now before you are forced to choose? The might and the power of God's Spirit is given to us to stand underneath the pressure of this world's hate for Christ. Our fate may well be death at the hands of our enemies because the whole of this world is evil and hate of God. As Paul said " for me to live is Christ and for me to die is gain" so let them come to relieve me of the burdens that I have and the pain that I suffer seeing people fall at the hands of the enemy of God each day. It is appointed unto every man once to die...and it is appointed to this world to be judged at the hands of the Father God and Jesus Christ my Lord. There is no way around that except to walk through the door that is opened unto us.
I pray that my conviction as a child of God would be so clear that they could not wait to carry out my sentence. If we are to be mentors of those who are seeking God then each one of us must strive to be convicted first in our own hearts that God is exactly who He claims to be in our lives, and then secondly that this world can clearly see that conviction within our lives. May you richly bless God through your life in Him.
